I got an e-mail from a media company this week with some headline about how gangnam style represents a revolution in social media. I wish I got paid to write bullshit like that.
ETA: Gangnam style, the video/dance/viral thing, that is.

Why am I watching Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter? This movie is deeply stupid but here I am, still watching it.

@freelancer: Is that movie out at the theaters yet?
And if you think that’s stupid, check out the straight-to-dvd “Abraham Lincoln: Zombie Hunter” on Netflix instant.
That first song sounds just like every song I’ve ever heard in every Twin Cities gay bar for the last 20 years.
Here at home, I just finished listening to an old Sloan record – Never Hear The End Of It.

This reminds me of when I went to India. We were in our room watching this Bollywood movie and it was so funny cause I really had no idea what they were saying, I believe they were speaking Punjabi, but in the middle of this fluent Punjabi they’d say these American slang words. So it’d be something like “…….(punjabi words)…..Radical man….(more punjabi words)….”. I followed along for a bit thanks to the over the top acting style and my friend and I would dub it with our own voices and storyline.
I was silly but fun.

I bought Psy’s whole album, which doesn’t include Gangnam Style. Including Blue Frog and more.
It’s great. Don’t understand a word. But it’s damn good music.
I’m still stuck in Hermosillo & just ended a 12 hour day. Need to catch up on US politics in case I ever get home. Nice to see some friendly ‘faces’ here after an epic week.
Posted this in the last thread, but my hope is that this pic becomes viral so it can last through the weekend. It’s been floating around since early evening, but the buzzfeed boys just “dumped” it at about 9:30 to 10:00 so it will probably be overlooked.
My goal is to tweet it to as many people as I and try my best in my own little way to help it along it’s viral way. I know I’m Black and racism is a way of life that I’ve lived with all of my 35 years, but I can honestly say that I never really thought (or maybe I really hoped) that race wasn’t a “real” guiding factor against Obama, but damn if I can come up with a good enough explanation for what’s going on. I just can’t for the life of me believe that 1 debate was all it took for Obama’s “soft” support to waver. It’s just got to be other factors too.
Sure the KKK and white supremacist are for Romney/Ryan, but man I hope I’m wrong and race is the least of the factors. But there is no way to really know, it’s not like the conservs I know are blatant to me with their racism, heck for all I know they could be, as the O’Jays said, “smiling in my face…backstabbers”
Anyway, I think I’ve been up to long. Good night guys.
Isn’t that a curious coincidence? Seems like I heard that number somewhere before.

That Whitesnake link is fuXX0r3d, so here’s a folkie version by an up and comer. She played at my house a couple of years ago, and is now recording in LA. If anyone ever saw the documentary about Paul Green’s Rock School – School of Rock was based on it – she’s the girl who sang Zomby Woof at the Zappanale in Germany at the end of the movie. She was known as “the Voice” at Berklee.

So only 20% of Americans think they’re in the 47%… which means 27% are completely deluded about their position in society.
